does anyone have experience of painting a black border on a flexible "roll up" screen. the screen is a new one,made for digital of course,and I want to mask it down.
what type of paint? the sreen will be rolled up and down,so the paint must be flexible.
thanyou.

As an update to this,i have masked my screen down with 50 mm wide self adhesive felt tape,and it looks fantastic. I made little round corners with the same tape,to give a really nice "cine" look.
The felt border absorbs almost all the stray light around the edges,much better than black paint,and the screen really enhances the picture.
The tape was obtained through Amazon,and is also available in 25mm width.
